all five of those skis are completely different for starters. tell us how big you are, where/what you like to ski, and how good you think you are, and we can suggest skis. those aren't the only skis that are good by any means, and they are all meant for different purposes (seth pistol is very wide and soft for pow, madtrix are skinny and stiff, scratch fs is fairly soft, etc). if you're going to limit the list of skis your looking at, at least do it in relation to what skis the shops around you carry

and the only people who can tell you about ninthward right now are the team riders, who *might* give you a biased opinion on them

i ride a pair of 176 a-stomps. they're sweet. they're good on groomers, float in the pow and slush. they're fairly soft, and work well in the park.

5'4...115...that pretty much rules out the Seth Pistols. Its possible something like the Public Enmies culd be alright for you, but hte best way to go is to demo them. Try that first. Stomps might be too burly for you too, something smaller should suit you well though I think. Just make sure you demo first.

Seth Pistols are big (95mm waist i believe) skis made for big stuff, powder, big mountain ect. but they rip pretty well in the park, i know several people who ride them in park.

Public Enemies are good all mountain, a medium type flex and of coarse they rip the park

stomps.... honestly i dont know much about these skis, ive demoed them once and wasnt impressed, but i think that was partly because the heavy ass atomic bindings.

madtrix... stiff as all hell, but still awsome, i ride the madtrix-mojo which i love! awsome in pow cuz the 90mm and sick in the park too. for someone who weighs 115 lbs i wouldnt suggest this ski. it will own you

scratch fs is sort of soft, awsome in the park ect...

it all comes down to what you want. i would suggest a softer flex cuz your small but other than that you need to make up your mind for yourself.

pistols would be good maby in the 169 ( i think thats as short as they come) but the scratches would be good too.

^Don't listen to him, it's the other way around. They're pretty good in park, but better at everything else. Plus, they're fat. So not park skis, really.
